targetting the marshall at the map boss, cant attack it, all other camps are fine though
ive seen this bug before in a normal camp, but worked around the problem, this time it cant be done :(
Never happened to me when attacking a boss, but it happened against a regular camp and I had to attack the next camp to be intercepted ...
Which sucks big time , because your Marshall will be intercepted and will kill the camp, but you don't have enough time to retreat and will die attacking the intended camp :(
If you send a 2nd attack at the intended camp right after sending the attack that you want to get intercepted, your intercepted Marshal will go on to the intended camp but won't get killed. Cost troops but saves a Marshal and/or medi-pack. Depends on how the camps are laid out, of course. So far this trick has worked well for me tho.Quote:

I've had this problem happen multiple times so far on normal bandit camps and zone leaders twice. If it helps to fix the problem faster in all cases the camp was overlapping another camp- or trees like you see in Evil_J's picture and that's what was making it impossible to target it directly.
Lots of buggy PvP maps and camps and bosses... The Rare Boss "Drak the Devourer" (he looks like the Bear Boss in the Clever Little Tailor adventure) seems to be the buggiest for me so far... I have seen numerous camps that cannot be targeted and even buggy camp locations appearing/disappearing when setting up Defenses on conquered Colonies.
The most costly camp bug seems to occur on Mixed camps that skip or lag-out of the normal combat order which results in excessive troop loss or even defeat of the Marshall and his troops regardless of how well you babysit these bugged camps... There appears to be no solution other than suffer through this occurrence when it happens and hope that it doesn't cost you the successful capture of the Colony, and/or lost of wasted troops, resources, and time...
oh one more to the list, or maybe im just that efficient :D

I have the same problem as Evil_J on the same map. Seems like the have not fixed it. Will this be fixed and what about the waste of troops and time?
If you experience this problem again, please submit a ticket and we will assist you!Quote:

I couldn't attack the main boss of a large colony a few days ago. The good news is because I saw this thread I've been checking the boss camps on every map before I start and canceled it. So thanks everybody who posted and made the rest of us aware of this bug. I'm sorry you had to waste time and resources but because you shared the info it's helping other players. If it ever happens that the main boss checks out OK in the beginning but then becomes un-attackable, I'll post it here. So far that has not happened.
I've just encountered this for the first time. Is there any way out of it, or have I lost all of my troops and the resources/xp? The map boss is One-Eyed Bert.
As far as I know, nobody's found a work around. You'll get all the XP you've earned so far if you cancel the expedition, but not the colony.
If I keep trying over and over, I can actually click on it to attack -- the camp greys out and I end up with nothing where I should have icons allowing me to choose my first wave. *sigh*
The only thing I know to do is preventative, which only helps you in the future. When starting a map I always check the boss camp before doing anything else. If I get the can't attack bug, cancel. So far, if I can attack when I start the map, I can still attack at the end. I know this doesn't do you any good for this map. Wish I could offer you a solution.
Well, it's been a while since anyone else posted to this thread, so I thought I'd add my two cents. Argh! Just argh! How annoying is it to take out all the camps and get to the boss and your marshal's refuse to initiate the attack?? I can tell you, but I'm afraid my potty mouth may drive my fingers and they'll type something naughty!
Second time for me. First time, support gave me the full amount of resources I would have made if it would have worked. (Which is better than I would have gotten if I DID manage to complete the expedition for titanium) - someone would have pillared, plundered and ravaged it away from me....) But still! Doesn't help with the conquer achievement. *sulk* Not to mention losing all those troops for nothing. Pfft!!
Already sent in a support ticket - just warning people that this happy little bug is still around.
It would appear that Expedition stuff is on a back burner. The Combat Academy still does not display the total items in production... that is a day-1 issue as well.
